his breast and lay there, in the peace

and sweet, and hushed In noly peace
The frantic horse plunged into one of
the arching lanes, and the dir of the
hunt dies behind her; silence fell like
a curtain at their heels; even the thud-
ding hoof beats were softeced on the
leafy ground. Randalin lay along the
horse's neck now. and her senses had
begun to slip away from her like the
tide from the shore. Somewhere,
i there was the soft thud of a falling
, body; then the cool greenness closed
around her and held her tenderly, a
i rumped leaf that the whirlwind had
dropped from its sport.

The silver shimmer of starlight fall-
ing through purple deeps had given
way to the ruddy glare of a camp
fire and she was lying Just beyond
its heat, cloak-wrapped, on a bed of
leaves. Above her interlacing beech
boughs made an arching roof, under
which the shadows clustered as swal-
lows under caves. Within the sylvan
alcove, some four score battle-stained
warriors were taking their ease after
a hard day. Through the fog of her
drowsiness Randalin recognized them
slowly. Yonder was the Englishman
who had found her in the bushes.
Beyond him, across the firs, the sol-
diers who had lifted her up to the
horseman. Here, Just in front of
her, was the leader himself. Her
gaze settled upon him dreamily.
He had finished his meal. If meal
it could be called, and was making
some attempt at toilet His captive's
eyes were not the only ones upon him,
and he was laughing a little at the
comments his performance drew forth
from three old cuihts lounging near
him.
"These are soft days, comrades. The
last time 1 followed the old chief, of
honored memory, we held our war-
council standing knee-deep In a fen.
We had neither eaten nor drank for
two days, and three days' blood was
on our hands."
The young chief took it with care-
less good humor.
When you leave ofT eating. In mem
ory of that brave time, 1 will leave of!

nothing but a warrior's life becomes
ethel-born men. nor sluggishness nor
junketings, but day under fire and
nights among the Wise Men of
I council. By Saint Mary, I feel that
I have never lived before! One week
at the heels of Edmund Ironside is
worth a lifetime under the banner of
any other king."
A pause met his warmth somewhat
coudly; and the warrior who broke the
silence lowered his voice to do it.

NOT EQUAL TO POSITION.
! "Grocm of the Feather Cloak" Fell
from Grace.
| When King Kalakaua of Hawaii vis-
I Ited Japan twenty years ago ho was
very anxious to exhibit to the Japa-
' nese his famous royal feather cloak.
It did not look well draped over the
regular costume of the king, which
v as based on European military mod-
els. It was out of the question to
| wear it draped over brown cuticle,
i as was the ancient fashion. Finally
it was decided to let Robert, one of
his attendants, wear it. William N.
i Armstrong, the king s attorney-gener-
I al. says: 'Tills additional service de-
I lighted Robert, who now, according to
I a confidential statement made to his
Japanese attendant, was 'keejier of
' the royal standard,' 'groom of the
feather cloak' and 'valet in ordinary.*
While in the imperial car. on the way
to Tokyo, the king's suite had sud-
denly seen Robert, sitting in state in
the luggage car. dressed in a silk hat,
white gloves and with the gorgeous
royal cloak hanging over his should-
ers. the tableau being completed by a
I group of Japanese attendants who
were standing before him, lost In ad-
miration." But Robert was scarcely
equal to the dignity that was his. In
,j j his capacity of valet ho preceded the
,. part;, to the palace assigned to them,
discovered there abundance ol
wines and spirits, which he consumed
until they arrived. He was found
a-i ; i the king's bed chamber, with
the silk hat far down over his hend
and the gorgeous cloak askew on his
shoulders. He was at once deposed
from his office of 'groom of the feath-
er cloak."
A Financial Case.
"He was a small boy." said tho
clerk in a clown town bank, telling the
story, "but he was trying to learn.
"How do you get money on chocks,
I please?' he asked the biggest hank

how he first set foot upon the
stepping-stone to success, he
tells in The Editor, the New

Incidentally giving the latter class
some excellent advice. Here are a
few of his terse, pregnant sentence8*

up Into your brain.
"As soon as a fellow sells two or
three things to the magazines," says
Jack London, "his friends all ask him
how he managed to do it," and then
he goes on, In his own racy way, to
tell how It happened to him.
He had many liabilities and r.o as-
sets, no iroomo and several mouths
j to feed. He llve.l in California, far
| from the great publishing centers,
and did rot know what an editor
looked like. But he sat down and
wrote. Day by day his pile of manu-
scripts mounted up. Ho had vague
ideas, obtained from a Sunday supple-
ment, that a minimum rate of $10 a
thousand words was paid, and figured
on earning $600 a month, without
overstocking the market.
One morning the postman brought
him, instead of the usual long, thick
manuscript envelope, a short, thin
one. He couldn't open It right away.
It seemed a sacred thing. It con-
tained the *. tten words of an editor
of a big i! ca ine. When, modest as
over, he had figured in his mind what
tho offer for this 4000-word story
would be at the minimum rate—$40.
of course—he opened the letter. Five
dollars!
Not having died right then and
there, Mr. London Is convinced that
he may yet qualify as an oldest in-
habitant. Five dollars! When? The
editor did not state.
But, by and by, in the course of Its
| wanderings, one of his stories rendu* 1
an editor who could see the genius of
Jack Ixmdon, and had the patience to
penetrate beneath the husk of wordy
introduction and discover the golden
gain.
Here Is the Incident that proved
the turning point in Jack London's
literary career, as he so graphically
tells It:
"Nothing remained but to get out
and shovel coal. I had done It he-
fore, and earned more money at It.
I resolved to do It again, and I cer-
tainly should have d :ie it, had it not
been for The Black Cat.
"Yea. The Black Cat. The post-
man brought me an off -r from it for
a 4000-word story which was more
lengthy than strengthy. If I would
grant permission to cut it down half.
Grant permission? I told them they
could cut It down two-halves if they'd
only send the money along, which
they did. by return mall. As for the
$5 previously mentioned, I finally re-
ceived it, after publication and a great
deal of embarrassment and trouble."
And the rate he received for his first
Black Cat story was nearly 20 times
what the fhe-dollar editor paid!
Nor is Jack London the only writer
who has been lifted from obscurity to
I prominence by the lucky Black Cat,
I which, as the New York Press ha3
; truly sai«t. has done m< re for sh >rt-
than any ether puVii-r.Lcn.
I Each of its f mous priz? ccrr.^"tl-
I tlons has brought new writers to tho
front. In Its most recent, the $2,100
prize was won by a young Texan who
had never before written a story, and
the second. $1,300, went to a lawyer's
I wife In an obscure Missouri town.
It has just inaugurated another con-
test in which $10,000 will be paid to
writers in sums of from $ 100 to $1,500.
i This will, no doubt, add many new
i names to the list of those who have
! "arrived" through Its recognition.
The conditions are announced In the
I current Issue of The Black Cat, and
will also bo mailed free to any one
j by the Sliortstory Publishing Com-
solemnly scrawled , pany, Boston, Mass. Even those who
cannot write a winning story them
solves may earn $10 by giving a time
ly tip to some friend who can.
But all should bear In mind that it
will be c-ntlroly useless for any one
to send a story to The Black Cat
without first reading and complying
with all the published conditions.
Here is a chance for the reader to dig
dollars out of his brain, for what life
does not at least contain one tale
worth telling?

FOOD FACTS
What an M. D. Learned.
A prominent physician of Rome„
Georgia, wont through a food experi-
ence which lie makes public:
"It was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
Jood and I alro know from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients that the food is a won-
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, us well as muscle.
It Improves the digestion and sick
patients always gain just as I did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
"I was In such a low state that I had
to give up my work entirely and go to
the mountains of this state, but two
months there did not Improve me; In
fact I was not quite as well as when i
left home. My food absolutely re-
fused to sustain me and It became
plain that I must change, then I begau
to use Grape-Nuts food and In.two
weeks I could walk a mile without the
least fatigue and in five weeks re-
turned to my homo nnd practice, tak-
In up hard work again. Since that
time I have felt as well and strong as
I ever did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers I consider H a duty to
make those facts public." Name *?lv-
en by Postum Co.. Ba.tle Creek. Mich.

the regular foo^ does not seem to sus-
tain the body will work miracles.
